Chris Delzotto, the Special Agent in Charge at the FBI Las Vegas Field Office, addressed the length of the investigation. "We do not forget. We do not give up. We will hold violent offenders accountable no matter how long it takes," Delzotto said.

He added that the impact of Scott's death continues to be felt. "Her family and the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe continue to feel the effects of this significant loss," Delzotto said.
